Worst Experience you can have from an Attorney

I hired this attorney in 2009, many of the times that we had a hearing in court he would find a way to reschedule the date, to drag the case and after 2 years did not have a trial date because he rescheduled the trial date at least 3 times.

Extended Time/Overcharged

I was referred to Mr. Ventura for his experience and expertise on Military Law. I divorced on my own but had to pay child support. After my older child graduated high school, I sought his advice because I was going through too many changes and felt that I couldn't handle mediation this time around. He assured me that we could get the case settled, gave me the facts with a retainer of $2750. Seven months later, nothing. In January I had to contact them, and had to resubmit all of the paperwork for a third time. Three times I had to go to the office because there was information that was not clearly written as it was discussed and the names were misspelled. I was charged for all this when it was not my mistake. Now it has been a year and a half since I first visited him. Papers have been re-filed and reviewed numerous times. I have a mediation coming up, and you bet, he is requesting an additional retainer...what I requested has not been achieved: to reduce Child Support. Now that I have clarity and some control, I know I could have saved myself the aggravation and the money, if I had just waited. The courts were protecting me anyway.
